Brock Duckworth comes to USF after spending the past two seasons with UTSA. While at UTSA, Duckworth helped lead the Roadrunners to double-digit wins in both 2021 and 2022. His leadership was a huge factor of UTSA's 2022 Conference USA Championship and first NCAA Tournament appearance in 12 years.
In his first season with the program, Duckworth helped guide UTSA to the most successful season in program history. Under his tutelage, UTSA recorded its highest ever winning percentage as well as the second most wins in school history.
A dynamic recruiter and coach, Duckworth joined the Roadrunners staff after a four-year tenure with Florida Gulf Coast University (2018-21).
He has served as an assistant coach at East Carolina (2017), FIU (2016), Arkansas (2015) and Winthrop (2013-14). He has served as the recruiting coordinator with the Roadrunners, a role he had at FGCU, East Carolina and FIU.
A native of Parker, Texas, Duckworth helped develop a youthful FGCU program into a winning tradition during his three seasons, posting a 31-11-6 record. The Eagles charted a 15-6-1 mark in league play and went a staggering 21-3-2 at home during his time with the Atlantic Sun power. He recruited a bevy of talent to Fort Myers.
The Eagles claimed the A-Sun Regular-season Championship in 2019, with Duckworth working alongside the A-Sun Player of the Year (Evdokia Popadinova), a two-time All-America selection. His work with goalkeeper Melissa Weck led to a 0.77 goals-against average and an all-conference selection, with Weck sporting the third-best save percentage in program history (.803). Lindsey Patton earned league defensive player of the year honors.
In his first season at FGCU, Duckworth helped Weck earn all-league accolades in between the pipes, allowing only 11 goals on the year with a 0.59 goals-against average. Popadinova totaled a team-leading 35 points to lead the offensive attack, with the Eagles ranking second in the nation in assists per game (2.74), points per game (7.58), fifth in total assists (52) and ninth in scoring offense (2.42).
During his year at ECU, Duckworth served as recruiting coordinator for a team that got off to the best start in program annals, a 4-0-1 mark, and went 5-2-2 in non-conference action, including a draw with No. 5 Virginia.
He also served as an assistant coach at FIU during the 2016 season. He was the director of scouting and technology at Arkansas for the 2015 season before joining the FIU staff.
Duckworth has also been a fixture in the club scene during his coaching career, working with Sporting Arkansas, North Carolina ODP and Discoveries Soccer Club.
He was a standout keeper at UNC Wilmington, where he secured the program record with a 1.07 goals-against average. He played professionally with the United Soccer League’s Wilmington Hammerheads, the Charleston Battery and the Charlotte Eagles in the USL. He won a USL Championship in 2012, was runner-up in 2013 and helped his club team, Solar SC, to multiple youth national titles.
